The Essential Naguib Mahfouz (Modern Arabic Literature (Hardcover)): Novels, Short Stories, Autobiography
Description
Naguib Mahfouz, the first and only writer of Arabic to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, wrote prolifically from the 1930s until shortly before his death in 2006, in a variety of genres: novels, short stories, plays, screenplays, a regular weekly newspaper column, and in later life his intensely brief and evocative Dreams. His Cairo Trilogy achieved the status of a world classic, and the Swedish Academy of Letters, awarding him the 1988 Nobel Prize for literature noted that Mahfouz through works rich in nuancenow clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguoushas formed an Arabic narrative art that applies to all mankind. Here Denys Johnson-Davies, described by Edward Said as the leading ArabicEnglish translator of our time, and the first to translate Naguib Mahfouz into English, makes an essential selection of short stories and extracts from novels and other writings, to present a cross-section through time of the very best of the work of Egypts Nobel Literature Laureate.
